A Commentary on Ovid's Metamorphoses

Nous l'attendions toutes et tous, et nous l'attendrons encore jusqu'au mois de décembre... Mais j'ai d'ores et déjà le plaisir de vous annoncer la parution, aux Presses Universitaires de Cambridge, de l'ouvrage d'Alessandro Barchiesi et Gianpiero Rosati A Commentary on Ovid's Metamorphoses.

Ce premier volume (de 1200 pages) comprend une introduction générale et le commentaire des livres I à VI.

Voici pour en savoir plus :

"Comprising fifteen books and over two hundred and fifty myths, Ovid's Metamorphoses is one of the longest extant Latin poems from the ancient world and one of the most influential works in Western culture. It is an epic on desire and transgression that became a gateway to the entire world of pagan mythology and visual imagination. This, the first complete commentary in English, covers all aspects of the text – from textual interpretation to poetics, imagination, and ideology – and will be useful as a teaching aid and an orientation for those who are interested in the text and its reception. Historically, the poem's audience includes readers interested in opera and ballet, psychology and sexuality, myth and painting, feminism and posthumanism, vegetarianism and metempsychosis (to name just a few outside the area of Classical Studies)."

Son prix : 160,00 $

A commander au Père Noël...
